Powerpuff Girls Begins Production; First Look At Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron & Yana Perrault On Set

This pretty much sums up the "heroes":

Mojo Jojo not being a monkey certainly was a choice. The whole thing looked like the creative people involved had never seen a single episode of the cartoon. Same vibes as the Witcher live action show.

Most of the fucking time those retartds don't even watch how started. They don't have respect for the source material. Never.

I'm not even into 'girls' cartoons for that time, but the same creator of Dexter Lab created Powerpuff Girls as well and conviced me to watch (he give an parody interview in Space Ghost Cost to Cost). For the time was surprising good, boarding even feminist in a single cartoon episode if you can believe and was great.

Hopefully Chloe Bennett and Donald Faison are casted for better roles somewhere else. This would have been a waste for both.

Actually, imo this is the type of project that should have moved forward at CW.

The CW has already been gutted since most of the DC hero shows(including Supernatural and Riverdale) ended, and it's currently a hollow shell that mostly broadcasts Reality TV shows and reruns of old content.

As budget as this cancelled show looks, it still would have been too much budget for the current heads at WB Discovery.

Which is remarkable if true. Back when this was greenlit, they had the above mentioned shows ending as you said, and shows like All American and Walker doing well for them.

I couldn't describe this trailer accurately earlier. It reminds me of a higher budget American version of Power Rangers TV show. Again, I think this could have found an audience in the "Hate watching" category that so many young people described today.

I have never seen the cartoon show, ands was only mildly aware of the existence back in the day. This trailer was clearly not aimed at those that watched the cartoon, but more on the teenage audience of today.



Side note: CW originally discussed remaking Vampire Diaries, and they won the bidding on the remake of Babylon 5. Truly wasted opportunities.

I would kind of be okay with this if they took it even further into a wildly different or darker tone and called it something else like "Puff", like they did with calling their version of Archie, "Riverdale". The ridiculousness of it's plot along with all of the promiscuity and murder is what ended up working for that show and how it found it's fanbase, because they didn't try to simply be a live action 1:1 Archie with a low budget. It's also easy in budget because it's mostly high school with smalltown mystery.

This Powerpuff concept seems like they were trying to keep the over the top cartoon tone, but instead apply it to '3 super girls trying to manage living regular college/post-college adult lives'. There's another way this could work and sadly I don't think the CW writers have the chops for it. This felt like a trailer for a youtube series.

I don't think CW wanted to end up where they did today, but they got too greedy and were too fast to pump out a ton of DC projects at once when Arrow S1 became a hit with audiences. They wanted to keep the DC train going but they stretched their writers far too thin.

If you ever think back about their DC run, notice that every time all of them had a new season come out, only one of them would have a pretty good season that year, and it's because their best writers would hop back and forth between shows. Suddenly Arrow season 3 sucks and Flash Season 1 is good. Suddenly, Supergirl Season 4(or whatever season the well written Lex arc happened) is pretty good and Flash S4 and Arrow S5 sucks. Suddenly, Black Lightning Season 2 is pretty good and Flash Season 5 sucks, Arrow Season 6 sucks, Supergirl Season 5 sucks, etc. I might have the season numbers slightly mixed up in timing, but you get the point. It was a terrible way of using B-level, C-level, and D-level writers.

Due to this and a lot of other factors, it felt like all of their DC shows suffered and went in a downward spiral of quality with slight bumps in quality along the way, dragging CW down with them because the DCTV Universe shows ate up most of their budget.

That is an interesting perception. I fell off many of the shows because the seasons would go bad. For example, loved Arrow 1 & 2. After that, i was out.

I think it also had to do with green lighting a bunch of stuff that wasn't well thought out, and they seemed to focus on what type of show and not offer variety anymore. Which was a mistake.

Do this like an actual adult show and it could be fine. But the pg-13 level this would be just makes this kind of "sexy edgy" stuff feel awkward and forced. It's women written to act like men but depicted like children.

Which one is buttercup?

Apparently the big one...

I watched all of it. Even Legends of Tomorrow, the two cancelled shows (one being Constantine which should have been given a chance), the animated Vixen show (nothing came out of that), and Batgirl (this was a gigantic fumble). So I would notice in realtime when a shift in quality occurred like a sad game of hot potato.

What they should have done from the start is just have one or two DC shows at most and make seasons around the heroes who would enter and have their own season or set of episodes for an arc, then they'd leave. They kind of did this with Superman during crossovers and it worked well except for maybe one crossover arc with magic (his weakness). He would get called, come in, help with a super-threat to the entire planet or galaxy, do other actions to help save people, and then leave.

They actually made him look cooler because he was treated as an endgame option to fix an issue, rather than a main character like Flash or Arrow who would put themselves in stupid situations only to be nerfed.

True as well.

I think Dove Cameron would've been perfect as Bubbles... if this had been an actual good show.

Now we need the Bat Girl trailer to leak. Would love to see what Brendan Fraser was cooking as the bad guy.

Yes, those crossover specials were generally well done. The Superman and Lois show was well done overall, all things considered. Swamp Thing and iZombie were also ok.
 
Just watched and holy shit, it's bad in the way that it's sad

Corporate stuff that has a direction of early YouTube fan film
 
Holy shit, WB have gone nuclear on this leaked trailer.

The best I could find was a watermark covered corner window in some YouTube commentariat video.
 
The odd thing is, even as a trailer it's awfully put together with barely anything to hype the series.

Did they only shoot a pilot and then make a trailer about the pilot giving away the whole plot for it which, by the looks of it, wasn't anything special anyway?

Then again, I only watched episodes of the cartoon because back in the day it was part of the cartoons bundle of shows that were playing back to back, some way funnier than this. I am definitely not the target audience.
 
That trailer was so bad I think it gave me
Cancer. Imagine working on this and being proud of it. There's nothing there to be proud of.
